The International Monetary Fund has forecast global economic growth of 3.5 per cent in 2017 and 3.6 per cent in 2018. The latest World Economic Outlook report also forecasts that Australia’s economic growth rate will rise to 3.4 per cent year-on-year by the December 2017 quarter, while the economy is forecast to grow by three per cent in 2018. Meanwhile, the IMF expects the nation’s unemployment rate to fall to 5.1 per cent in 2018. The IMF’s outlook for Australia is much more bullish than the most recent forecasts issued by the Treasury.
